Donald Trump is an infamous real estate mogul who built his name on large hotel and casino developments during the 1980s before becoming a reality television show star with NBC’s The Apprentice and, in 2016, winning a contentious election to become the 45th president of the United States. Throughout his controversial campaign, Trump upped his signature bombast by launching vicious, often crude, attacks on opponents and issues like immigration and climate change. Since taking office in January 2017, Trump has been hounded by a constant string of controversies, both large and small, that have dominated headlines across the globe. Most notable among the growing list of scandals are the allegations Trump’s campaign colluded with Russian officials to help Trump win the presidency over Hillary Clinton and that Trump later committed obstruction of justice in trying to interfere with investigations into collusion claims. Trump has five children with three different wives.
